94: Advanced Power

“Now I'm taking you to upgrade your ability.”

Yang Hongyu grabbed Lin Ye's shoulder.

In a flash, they arrived in front of a Star Gate. The Star Gate guards, seeing it was Yang Hongyu, immediately bowed in greeting.

Yang Hongyu nodded, then led Lin Ye through the Star Gate.

They arrived in a primeval forest, but there was nothing around the Star Gate.

“Bacall, I need your help with something.”

An alien with a hunched back, green skin, and a long beard appeared.

“Old Yang, is this the human genius you mentioned last time?”

Bacall spoke in Xia Guo language.

“That's right. I need your help upgrading his ability,” Yang Hongyu said.

Bacall waved his hand, “No big deal, but we've agreed on the conditions, so don't try to welch on me.”

Yang Hongyu looked displeased, “Have I ever cheated you, old man? You're so money-grubbing.”

Bacall was unconcerned.

“Come on, kid.”

Bacall grabbed Lin Ye's shoulder, and before Lin Ye could react, they were already at a thatched hut. Yang Hongyu did not follow.

Lin Ye secretly complained, are these big shots' travel abilities so outrageous? It's a pity they don't deliver express packages.

Bacall kept pulling out precise instruments, explaining, “If an ability has a higher-tier ability, then by paying a certain price, it can be transformed into a higher-tier ability.”

“First, you need to prepare the higher-tier ability.”

Bacall took out three ability user seeds. Lin Ye felt that their aura was very similar to the three he had absorbed.

“Secondly, it requires a master like me, who specializes in the study of Life, to personally take action.”

After preparing a pile of complex instruments, Bacall had Lin Ye lie in a nutrient pod.

As tiny tubes were inserted, Lin Ye felt as if every blood vessel in his body was filled with these tubes.

Blue medicinal liquid gushed out, enveloping Lin Ye.

Bacall wrapped the three ability seeds in medicinal liquid, then condensed Star Power to crush them and inject them into the tiny tubes.

He controlled the medicinal liquid with Soul Power to make it work.

Waves of intense pain came, and Lin Ye endured the pain.

At the same time, a feeling similar to absorbing abilities normally appeared.

Time passed for an unknown duration until the blue medicinal liquid was discharged from the thin tubes, and then it stopped.

Lin Ye breathed a sigh of relief.

“Alright, it's done.” Bacall looked a bit tired.

He pulled out the thin tubes and opened the hatch.

Lin Ye climbed out of the nutrient pod and quickly checked the changes on his panel.

In the ability section, Star Force, Star Force Body Armor, and Strength Energy Control had been replaced.

Abilities: Lord of Star Force (Great Accomplishment 0.1%), Star Body (Great Accomplishment 0.1%), Self-Mastery (Great Accomplishment 0.1%)

Huge changes.

Lord of Star Force condensed his Star Force to the extreme. A single wisp of Star Force's destructive power was enough to rival a cannonball.

Star Force Body Armor directly transformed into Star Body. When Lin Ye activated it, his body's strength, speed, defense, and reactions would all surge. Even normally, it would continuously temper his physical body.

Self-Mastery was even more terrifying, not only making his control over Force Energy effortless but also bringing his control over Soul and physical body to the extreme.

It was truly terrifying; Star Level abilities were much stronger than Gold Level.

This brought about another transformation in Lin Ye's strength.

Lin Ye knew that as long as he mastered all these abilities to perfection, he would possess unparalleled power.

“Alright, stop daydreaming. Let's go.” Bacall slapped him on the back, and before he could react, he appeared beside Yang Hongyu.

“This old fellow, he's always so impolite. Once the business is done, he ignores people,” Yang Hongyu complained.

Bacall only sent Lin Ye over but didn't come himself.

“Let's go.”

Before Lin Ye could speak, Yang Hongyu led him through the Star Gate and back to Sky City.

“Alright, you can go train by yourself now. I've already arranged for someone to prepare your Sky City special residence permit. Someone will give it to you shortly.”

“Thank you, Chief Yang,” Lin Ye said sincerely.

As humanity's strongest, he personally arranged his future. Lin Ye deeply remembered this kindness.

“I hope you can become a pillar of humanity.” Yang Hongyu's face was full of anticipation.

Then he flashed away.

Lin Ye bowed.

Under the guidance of the Star Gate guards, he left this special teleportation hall.

As soon as he stepped out, a guard who had been waiting for a long time handed Lin Ye the residence permit.

“Comrade Lin Ye, this is your residence permit.”

Lin Ye took the residence permit, saluted the departing guard, and looked at the bustling Sky City with a touch of emotion. Had a new Life begun?

But he should contact his master first.

He carefully explained the situation to Fish Brother. Fish Brother told him to cultivate well, and regarding the contract issue, the country had already compensated them and was vigorously supporting the Prosperity Club.

They not only provided policy, reputation, and financial support but also introduced many promising talents to Prosperity.

“Lin Ye, Chief Yang values you, and our Prosperity won't hold you back. Just come back to visit more often when you have time.” Jiang Xiaoyu admonished him like an old mother.

Lin Ye felt an unusual warmth in his heart. Fish Brother was like family, caring for him meticulously.

“Fish Brother, don't worry. When I make it big, I'll bring you alien sisters to flirt with.” Lin Ye patted his chest hard, promising.

“Jiang Xiaoyu, well, well, you actually let your apprentice find women for you when he makes it big.” Xu Qian's voice came through.

Lin Ye's heart sank. Oh no, why was his mistress there?

“Qianqian, listen to my explanation. You just arrived, you misheard. Lin Ye meant...”

“With both human and material evidence, you still want to quibble.” Xu Qian didn't object to Jiang Xiaoyu having fun, but having fun with women and finding women were two different things. She didn't care about the former at all, but flirting involved feelings. She had zero tolerance for emotional cheating.

“Mistress, mistress, you misheard. I meant...”

Lin Ye hadn't finished speaking when the call was cut off.

Alright, Fish Brother, good luck to you.

He felt guilty, but his Fish Brother should be able to handle it. After all, even if there was really nothing this time, Fish Brother's sweet talk could still appease his mistress.

He contacted his grandmaster, his teammates at Prosperity, and his high school classmates one by one.

He also found the director of the orphanage from back then, chatted with the director, and anonymously donated a huge sum of money.

These hundreds of millions should allow the children in the orphanage to have a very happy Life for a while.

Orphanages are very common institutions now. The Star Realm is very dangerous, and the Death rate is very high, so orphans have become the norm.

The orphanage Lin Ye was in was the only one in Ye Hai City. Because Ye Hai City was relatively poor and received less financial subsidy, and thousands of orphans were born every year, the conditions were not excellent.

The staff's salaries were also very low; they basically worked for love. So now that he had the ability, he would make his childhood home better.

Fish Brother appeased Xu Qian and called him to tell him that the Intuition ability seed had been mailed to him.

Lin Ye was touched. Now, living in the Star Realm for a long time wouldn't be a problem.

After settling matters on Blue Star, he had to move forward.

The Star Realm, a dangerous place.

Especially the areas teleported by Sky City's Star Gate were particularly dangerous places.

So Lin Ye had to prepare well.

He had all the weapons and equipment, so no extra preparation was needed.

But essential survival supplies needed to be purchased.

Healing potions, Star Power recovery potions, buy!

Energy bars, buy!

Survival kits, buy!

Maps and guides, buy!

........

He spent a full five hundred million, filling his storage space.

This time, he was ready for a long battle in the Star Realm.

Especially after learning about the star core, if he couldn't advance with a top-grade, non-attributed star core, it would be more unbearable than killing him.
